We were on the three mounts traverse, but had planned to pass by Tacul on the ascent and save it for the descent perhaps, if we would feel like it. However, we took a wrong turn in the darkness and ended up on Tacul anyway!

Climbed it to acclimatize before a Mont-Blanc traverse the next day. The face was in great conditions but we were very slow (no wonder: one of us came down with HACE the next day...). Very windy on the last snow ridge but the rock scramble was sheltered and quite pleasant. Amazing views from the summit!

The plan was to traverse the three mount blancs from the Cosmique but the wind was terrible. We reached the Epule te tacoul in 2:10 and then the top in 2:45.
The wind was terrbiel so we rinunced ot go further. Anyway a nice climbing.

Went from Aiguille du Midi cable car. Had a beautiful day and practically had the mountain to ourselves. There were a couple of challenging sections when crossing some crevasses, but otherwise a gentle climb. The summit is truly beautiful with breathtaking views.
